💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has stayed trial court proceedings against a former Army officer, Capt Rakesh Walia (retired), who is accused of rape. The officer claims the FIR was filed maliciously to extort money and the case is one of "sextortion." The court agreed to examine the man's plea, which alleges wrongful prosecution due to seven FIRs filed by the complainant against nine people in the last eight years.
